For me, this was the MOST beautiful, most soulful episode not only in MW, but in the history of Indian Television.
Think about it. In other telly serials, how does a guy fall for a girl, or vice versa? I'll tell you:
1. the guy saves the gal from some goons.
2. the guy gives the girl his jacket when she's cold.
3. the guy and the girl are lost in a forest and spend their night in a barn, and then the guy will suddenly noice her beauty when she's sleeping.
4. the guy is "dazzled" by the beauty of the girl when she's drying her hair.
5. the guy is a big playboy type of a person and the girl's , "sweetness, shyness, cuteness, goodnes...." impresses him.
6. the guy is a nerdy fellow and he is attracted to the the girl because she's outspoken and bindaas.
7.the guy catches the girl when she's about to fall and he realizes after 5 mins of staring that he's in love.
What's common in all these scenes and so-called love stories is: sexual tension and physical attraction.
The people behind the soaps in India inevitably mistake physical attraction for love.
All our currently famous pairs on Television never really fell in love. They just got attracted to each other, infatuated, so to speak. They never connected, never became soulmates. They never talked like lovers do in reality. All our famous pairs behave like how it would be if two mutually crushing people got together.
But Mahi-Shiv are definitely going to be different. I'm sure they'll love each other for the other one's qualities, nature, opinions, thinking. I'm sure they'll not be continuously falling and catching, or everlastingly hesitating over lovemaking, or fighting over crappy things like gifts and such like.
They are going to be soulmates,they are going to talk, to relate to each other, in short, they are going to be how two people truly in love actually are.
And I'm more than happy that atleast this serial is not based on "Opposites Attract" funda. Because it's the most misunderstood statement of the century: opposites ONLY attract, they DON'T fall in love, and no one seems to realize this. Only two people fundamentally alike can be true soul mates.
